Look, you can't really use an Intel debit card as a credit card—if that's even the right way to put it—so it won't work for that purpose...
You could try using something like PayPal or Moneybookers... or whatever other third-party services they happen to support. But honestly, if you’re planning on depositing anything remotely substantial—say, at least $100—it’s probably not worth your while because those transaction fees will absolutely eat you alive.
Oh, and you could technically try a wire transfer, but there's a catch: banks can be real sticklers about that since you're dealing with a sportsbook. They aren't exactly supposed to be sending money abroad for that kind of thing (legal restrictions and all that...), so whether it goes through or not really just depends on how much of a headache the teller decides to give you that day...
If you ask me, the easiest and least painful way to handle this is to just find someone who already has some cash sitting in their MB account and settle up with them directly.

Honestly, I think the easiest way is just hitting it with a standard check or whatever—unless you’re already using online banking, then it's basically a non-issue...

you can 😉
DraftKings is also fully registered here in the States, so you won't have any issues when it comes to getting your payouts... I've looked into it myself

Can I just walk into any local bank and use a standard deposit slip to put cash directly onto my DraftKings account?
And how does the withdrawal process actually work when I want to get my money out?

The day before yesterday, I put in a withdrawal request from my DraftKings account, and they hit me with a request for a photo of my ID to verify my identity. Does anyone know how long it typically takes for the funds to actually land in my bank account once the transfer from DraftKings is initiated?

I haven't seen a thread packed with this much wrong info in a long time.
With a debit card, specifically an Intel card (the kind with the security code from banks like Citibank or Goldman Sachs that allow online transactions), you can easily pay at most major sportsbooks, use PayPal, or handle deposits and withdrawals through services like MoneyGram or AlertPay.
Using PayPal or MB isn't expensive at all; if anything, the fees are tiny. PayPal doesn't charge for payments, and with MB, it's just 1% or a flat 50 cents regardless of how much you're moving.

You definitely can. I personally use my Citibank Intel card linked to my foreign currency account all the time for deposits and withdrawals at various online sportsbooks and PayPal accounts. As long as your card has that three-digit CVV2 code on the back, you should be good to go without any issues!

But just because they have a card doesn't mean it works for online shopping. For instance, someone might have a card from a local credit union, but it's basically useless for anything digital.

I’ve heard that even with cards from places like Chase or Goldman Sachs, you can run into some annoying hiccups here and there, but personally, I stick with Citibank. Before I even opened my account, I made sure to check in with some veteran players to see what they thought, and everyone pointed me toward Citibank. So far, every single one of my transactions has gone through without a hitch, so I can definitely vouch for using their Visa card for all my online betting needs.

Even with DraftKings, you can't use an RBA Visa for online payments.
Citibank and Goldman Sachs work fine. Personally, I lean toward Goldman Sachs since they don't charge fees for foreign currency accounts.

I've got two quick questions for you guys! Yesterday, $28 credited me for an incorrect bet, so I went ahead and used those $28 to place more wagers. But then today, they took that $28 right back, and now it's just sitting there in my DraftKings account as a $28.
Am I actually obligated to pay that back, and what kind of trouble am I looking at if I don't?
Also, is it true that they require ID verification via a driver's license when you're trying to withdraw funds to a Visa?
Thanks a ton!

Man, DraftKings has more operational glitches than actual cash flowing through their system daily.😁
If I were you, I’d hit up customer support and play dumb. Act like you have no idea they ever gave you the money in the first place.$28 Just play the "where did my $28 go?" card and see how long you can stall.🤷

Look, when I was betting on DraftKings during the Euros, I handled all my deposits and withdrawals using my Intel card without any issues at all.

Dropped 10 bucks on my Mastercard today, but from what I can gather, they won't let you withdraw back to a Mastercard—it's gotta be Visa or something... so what happens if I actually win? How does the whole bank transfer payout thing even work?

So, I've got a bit of a headache here...
I travel outside the US pretty often—usually heading over to Italy—and I can't seem to log into DraftKings. Every single time I try, the site just forces me onto the Italian version instead, and when I attempt to sign in, it keeps telling me my user doesn't exist. It’s super frustrating.
Everything works perfectly fine once I'm back home in the States again, though...
Has anyone else dealt with this or found a workaround? Thanks!
